This research paper examines the use of micro-osteoperforation (MOP) to accelerate orthodontic tooth movement. MOP is a minimally invasive procedure that involves creating controlled microtraumas in the bone using specialized devices. This stimulates an inflammatory response and increases the rate of alveolar bone remodeling compared to conventional orthodontics. Several clinical studies showed MOP resulted in 41-50% faster canine retraction and higher levels of inflammatory markers associated with bone remodeling. While MOP reduces treatment time, future research is still needed to further validate its efficacy.

“One-Piece” Immediate-Load Post-Extraction Implant In Maxillary Central IncisorAbu-Hussein Muhamad
Abstract: This case report describes extraction of a fractured left maxillary central incisor tooth, followed by immediate placement of an one-piece implant in the prepared socket and temporization by a bonded restoration.
Materials And Methods: The tooth was extracted with minimal hard and soft tissue trauma and without flap reflection. The socket was prepared to the required depth and a Implant was inserted.
Results: The atraumatic operating technique and the immediate insertion of the one-piece Implant resulted in the preservation of the hard and soft tissues at the extraction site.
Conclusion: The “One-piece” dental implant and provisional restoration provided the patient with immediate esthetics, function, comfort and most importantly preservation of tissues. The one-piece implant design resulted in a high cumulative implant survival rate and beneficial marginal bone levels.

Immediate Implant Placement And Restoration With Natural Tooth In The Maxilla...Abu-Hussein Muhamad
Anterior tooth loss and restoration in the esthetic zone is a common challenge in dentistry today. The prominent visibility of the area can be especially distressing to the patient and requires a timely and esthetically pleasing solution. Immediate single-tooth implantation followed by immediate provisionalization is becoming an increasingly desirable treatment that offers numerous benefits over conventional delayed loading. Provisionalization for immediately-placed implants using the patient’s existing tooth can enhance the final aesthetic outcome if certain steps are
followed. If the natural tooth is intact and can be used as a provisional, the emergence profile can be very similar to the preoperative condition. This article outlines a technique to use the patient’s natural tooth after extraction to provisionalize an implant.
Periodontally Accelerated Osteogenic Orthodontics with Piezoelectric Surgery...Abu-Hussein Muhamad
Piezosurgery has been applied in dentistry for many years. This paper reviews specifically the treatment applications that have been used in surgically assisted orthodontic treatment since the last decade. Periodontally Accelerated Osteogenic Orthodontics (PAOO) is a surgical technique which results in an increase in alveolar bone width, shorter treatment time, increase post-treatment stability, and decrease amount of apical root resorption. The aim of this case report is to compare the use of micro-motor and piezoelectric surgery unit during decortication in Periodontally Accelerated Osteogenic Orthodontics technique.
Key words: Piezoelectric surgery, piezosurgery, Periodontal regeneration , accelerated tooth movement
Abstract: Corticotomy-assisted orthodontic treatment is an established and efficient orthodontic technique that has recently been studied in a number of publications. Corticotomy facilitated orthodontics have been employed in various forms over speed up orthodontic treatment It involves selective alveolar decortication in the form of decortication lines and dots performed around the teeth that are to be moved. It is done to induce a state of increased tissue turnover and a transient osteopenia, which is followed by a faster rate of orthodontic tooth movement. This technique has several advantages, including faster tooth movement, shorter treatment time, safer expansion of constricted arches, enhanced post-orthodontic treatment stability and extended envelope of tooth movement. The aim of this article is to present a comprehensive review of the literature, including historical background, contemporary clinical techniques, indications, contraindications, complications and side effects. Keywords: Corticotomy, decortication, review, orthodontic treatment

Atrophied Edentulous Mandible with Implant-Supported Overdenture; A 10-year f...Abu-Hussein Muhamad
Abstract: Severe atrophy of the inferior alveolar process and underlying basal bone often results in problems with a lower denture. These problems include insufficient retention of the lower denture, intolerance to loading by the mucosa, pain, difficulties with eating and speech, loss of soft-tissue support, and altered facial appearance. These problems are a challenge for the prosthodontist and surgeon. In this case report, patient with resorbed edentulous mandible was successfully rehabilitated using two dental implants placed in the interforaminal region with ball abutments opposing conventional maxillary complete denture. Key Words: dental implants; dental prosthesis, implant-supported; resorption,

Modified osteotome sinus floor elevation by using combination PRF membrane, b...Dr. Anuj S Parihar
The osteotome technique is more predictable with simultaneous implant placement when there is less than 5 to 7 mm of pre-existing alveolar bone height beneath sinus. Proper combination of PRF membrane, MFDBA and autogenous bone has been recommended for this situation. The purpose of this article is to describe the proper method and materials which can grow more than 10 mm bone with osteotome technique and grafting materials where the edentulous posterior maxilla radiographically showed less bone between the alveolar crest and sinus floor.
Overdentures can be either tooth or implant supported. Completely edentulous patients whose economic condition Thwarts them to invest in the expensive implant (number based) treatments should be motivated to have at least a two implant-supported overdenture since the prosthesis offers most of the advantages of conventional tooth-supported overdenture. We report a case of an elderly female patient who was reluctant toward surgery, but with moderate education was treated successfully with a two staged, two implant-supported overdenture using a ball abutment with o ring attachment.
Immediate implant placement following tooth extraction a case reportAbu-Hussein Muhamad
Immediate dental implants are an attractive option to patients and dentists. This paper report the management of a

with two years follow-up.
IMMEDIATE LOADING WITH MINI DENTAL IMPLANTS IN THE FULLY EDENTULOUS MANDIBLEAbu-Hussein Muhamad
Mini dental implants (MDI) have become increasingly popular in the past decade and have been approved for many long-term uses in dentistry. There are many advantages of the use of mini dental implants from both a practitioner and patient perspective. For the general dentist starting out in implant dentistry, their placement can be more challenging than conventional implants. It requires a different skill set, but one which can be learned with proper guidance and practice.In the study are presented clinical cases with mini implants with spherical joints for retention of removable overimplant mandibular dentures.
Key words: mini dental implants, immediate loading implants Prosthetics, overdenture
Photobiomodulation technique uses low intensity lasers and light in the red to near infrared zone (600 to 1000 nm wavelength) which brings about biological changes at the cellular level thus initiating the bone remodeling. As a result accelerates orthodontic tooth movement without causing any harm to the periodontal tissues
This journal club presents a case of prosthetic
rehabilitation of an amputated thumb. It emphasizes that
prosthetic replacement is a better option for aesthetic and
psychological improvement, particularly in cases where the
victim is unwilling to undergo complicated surgical procedures for reconstruction of thumb or where functioning
of thumb cannot be restored even by multiple surgeries. In
the present case, a 20 years old female patient, with
missing thumb of her right hand was rehabilitated aesthetically by a non-invasive and cost effective prosthetic
procedure by using heat temperature vulcanizing silicone
material. The prosthesis (the thumb) was attached using
medical adhesives. On 3 months recall appointment, no
complications were observed. The prosthesis was in good
shape and required no further intervention. The prosthetic
thumb lacks the sensation of a normal or reconstructed
thumb, although it does not require the multiple procedures
of surgical reconstruction and the accompanying loss of
time for rehabilitation and healing
When treating a patient with a removable partial denture, the natural and artificial teeth, both functionally and esthetically, must co-exist in a harmonious relationship.
Occlusal harmony between a removable partial denture and the remaining natural teeth is a major factor in preservation of the surrounding structures.
In removable partial dentures, because of the attachment of the denture to abutment teeth, occlusal stresses can be transmitted directly to the abutment teeth and other supporting structures, which results in sustained stresses that may be more damaging than those transient stresses found in complete dentures.
Altered Cast Impression Technique for Fabrication of Maxillary Obturator- Jou...Dr. Prathamesh Fulsundar
An obturator is a maxillofacial prosthesis that is used to close an acquired tissue opening, primarily of the hard palate, and/or a contiguous alveolar or soft tissue structure that has been removed by surgery. (GPT-8)
This clinical report describes the prosthodontic rehabilitation andfabrication of an obturator used for a partially edentulous patient with anacquired unilateral maxillary defect.
The impression was made in 2 steps in a similar manner as the altered castimpression technique.
Precise impression of the resection defect despite trismus was possible, thus providing this patient an accurately fitting obturator prosthesis.
A removable partial denture or complete denture that covers & rests on one or more remaining natural teeth, the roots of natural teeth, &/or dental implants (GPT-8)
The elderly population is rapidly increasing, as is their need for dental treatment.
Considering the number of partially or completely edentulous patients, various types of treatment may be indicated, including conventional complete dentures and both tooth-supported and implant-supported overdentures.
A RPD derives support from two main sources periodontally sound natural teeth & residual alveolar processes and associated soft tissues.
A RPD that is supported by healthy natural teeth possesses adequate stability and retention to resist functional displacement.
However, a RPD that is not entirely bounded by natural teeth will move when a load is applied.
A single complete denture is a complete denture that occludes against some or all of the natural teeth, a fixed restoration, or a previously constructed removable partial denture or a complete denture.
Opposing natural teeth that are sufficient in number and do not necessitate a fixed or removable partial denture.
Opposing a partially edentulous arch in which the missing teeth have been or will be replaced by a fixed partial denture.
Opposing arch with an existing complete denture.
Prosthetic rehabilitation of a xerostomia patient with a mandibularsplit salivary reservoir denture
Xerostomia is defined as dryness of the mouth due to lack of normal secretions of saliva
Mucosal lubricants eg. wet mouth (ICPA Health Products Ltd),aqwet (Cipla Ltd)
Salivary stimulants eg. colgate dry mouth relief.
Healthy diet intake.
Salivary substitutes ( liquid or gel form ).

Proper water intake.
Salivary reservoirs
One of the objectives in complete denture prosthetics is to produce a harmonious appearance of the denture when in the patient’s mouth.
A denture usually perceived as esthetics when the teeth and bases are in harmony with the facial musculature as well as the size & shape of the head.
The selection of artificial teeth & their arrangement to meet esthetic requirements demand artistic skill in addition to scientific knowledge.
Fabrication of removable palatal augmentation prosthesis on a complete denture to reduce weight and maintain hygiene
The retention of a palatal augmentation prosthesis (PAP) is negatively affected by its weight thus, making this device as light as possible is important for clinical success.
However, hollowing the device to reduce weight may cause hygiene issues due to moisture intrusion.
An alternative technique with a removable veneer-type PAP for a complete denture was developed.
This resulted in positive outcomes in terms of reducing the weight and maintaining the hygiene of the prosthesis.
There have been several changes since inception in the field of dental ceramics. Need for newer materials with improved aesthetics, flexural strength and optical properties made it necessary for introduction of advanced technology in fabrication of dental ceramics.
The threshold between microstomia and a normal mouth
opening is defined as an interlabial measurement less
than 45 mm and/or an interincisal distance less than 40
mm.20 Zweifel et al6 further refined that statement by
defining the average vertical mouth opening as 40 to 50
mm, a functional opening as 25 to 35 mm, and a severely
limited opening as 10 to 24 mm. However, no definitive
description has been presented of the width of mouth
opening that should prompt the use of a foldable or
sectional denture.
Mouth opening exercises have been described for
patients with scleroderma but not for those with facial
exercises and appliances used long after facial burns is
scarce, but exercises may be of value in the treatment of
these patients.
The use of sectional trays and record bases may be
essential to obtaining accurate impressions of a patient
with microstomia. An accurate tray and record base is
required to consistently obtain the position of the tray
and record base related to the reference anatomic
structures.
While maxillary bone resorbs toward the center of the
maxilla, mandibular bone resorbs laterally in posterior
areas and lingually in the anterior region. This may allow
the fabrication of maxillary dentures with a smaller width.
To provide support, however, the buccal flanges of
mandibular complete dentures should overlay the bone
horizontally at the buccal shelf region, which may extend
buccally 10 mm or more from the residual ridge top.
These factors explain the presence of several mandibular
collapsible or foldable dentures in the literature versus
few articles describing techniques for maxillary sectional
dentures. The use of implants may allow less extension of
the borders, providing comfort and ease of use for
patients with microstomia.26

Assesment of Self Evaluation Of Dental Appearance Among Non-Dental Undergradu...Dr. Prathamesh Fulsundar
Orthodontist routinely evaluate patients and prescribe treatment plans in order to satisfy the often stated goals of good dental function, stability of teeth & jaw position & dental aesthetics. however aesthetics has variability in individual judgments, it can differ for patients and dentists making it difficult to make generalized statements hence the aim of this study was to assess the self evaluation and satisfaction of dental appearance among non dental undergraduate students and their attitude towards orthodontic treatment.
Long treatment duration has been a major drawback of the conventional fixed orthodontic treatment. Cyclic Loading (Vibrations within physiological limits) has proved to be effective in accelerating the rate of tooth movement.
Treatment of oral submucous fibrosis can be done by using various natural remedies and plant extracts. The article describes some of these therapies for the treatment of OSMF
Homeopathic Arnicai to Control Orthodontic Pain-A Substitute to Conventional...Dr. Prathamesh Fulsundar
Pain and discomfort associated with fixed orthodontic treatment has always been a major factor in causing patient dropouts, the conventional method of using NSAID's hampers the tooth movement, as a result a need for newer alternatives to control pain has developed. Arnica montana serves as an effective substitutes to control pain and discomfort without hampering the rate of orthodontic tooth movement.
Facial trauma is routinely diagnosed in most of the road traffic accidents. A brief anatomy of mid face and various means of diagnosis and surgical management of mid face trauma is explained in the above presentation.
Dental plaque is one of the major predisposing factor for various dental and periodontal diseases. thus effective measures for dental plaque control is essential in order to achieve good oral hygiene. mechanical plaque control is highly effective in management n control of dental plaque however chemical plaque control measures can be used as an adjunct to mechanical methods.

New Directions in Targeted Therapeutic Approaches for Older Adults With Mantl...i3 Health
i3 Health is pleased to make the speaker slides from this activity available for use as a non-accredited self-study or teaching resource.
This slide deck presented by Dr. Kami Maddocks, Professor-Clinical in the Division of Hematology and
Associate Division Director for Ambulatory Operations
The Ohio State University Comprehensive Cancer Center, will provide insight into new directions in targeted therapeutic approaches for older adults with mantle cell lymphoma.
STATEMENT OF NEED
Mantle cell lymphoma (MCL) is a rare, aggressive B-cell non-Hodgkin lymphoma (NHL) accounting for 5% to 7% of all lymphomas. Its prognosis ranges from indolent disease that does not require treatment for years to very aggressive disease, which is associated with poor survival (Silkenstedt et al, 2021). Typically, MCL is diagnosed at advanced stage and in older patients who cannot tolerate intensive therapy (NCCN, 2022). Although recent advances have slightly increased remission rates, recurrence and relapse remain very common, leading to a median overall survival between 3 and 6 years (LLS, 2021). Though there are several effective options, progress is still needed towards establishing an accepted frontline approach for MCL (Castellino et al, 2022). Treatment selection and management of MCL are complicated by the heterogeneity of prognosis, advanced age and comorbidities of patients, and lack of an established standard approach for treatment, making it vital that clinicians be familiar with the latest research and advances in this area. In this activity chaired by Michael Wang, MD, Professor in the Department of Lymphoma & Myeloma at MD Anderson Cancer Center, expert faculty will discuss prognostic factors informing treatment, the promising results of recent trials in new therapeutic approaches, and the implications of treatment resistance in therapeutic selection for MCL.
Target Audience

RESULTS: Overall life span (LS) was 2252.1±1742.5 days and cumulative 5-year survival (5YS) reached 73.2%, 10 years – 64.8%, 20 years – 42.5%. 513 LCP lived more than 5 years (LS=3124.6±1525.6 days), 148 LCP – more than 10 years (LS=5054.4±1504.1 days).199 LCP died because of LC (LS=562.7±374.5 days). 5YS of LCP after bi/lobectomies was significantly superior in comparison with LCP after pneumonectomies (78.1% vs.63.7%, P=0.00001 by log-rank test). AT significantly improved 5YS (66.3% vs. 34.8%) (P=0.00000 by log-rank test) only for LCP with N1-2. Cox modeling displayed that 5YS of LCP significantly depended on: phase transition (PT) early-invasive LC in terms of synergetics, PT N0—N12, cell ratio factors (ratio between cancer cells- CC and blood cells subpopulations), G1-3, histology, glucose, AT, blood cell circuit, prothrombin index, heparin tolerance, recalcification time (P=0.000-0.038). Neural networks, genetic algorithm selection and bootstrap simulation revealed relationships between 5YS and PT early-invasive LC (rank=1), PT N0—N12 (rank=2), thrombocytes/CC (3), erythrocytes/CC (4), eosinophils/CC (5), healthy cells/CC (6), lymphocytes/CC (7), segmented neutrophils/CC (8), stick neutrophils/CC (9), monocytes/CC (10); leucocytes/CC (11). Correct prediction of 5YS was 100% by neural networks computing (area under ROC curve=1.0; error=0.0).
CONCLUSIONS: 5YS of LCP after radical procedures significantly depended on: 1) PT early-invasive cancer; 2) PT N0--N12; 3) cell ratio factors; 4) blood cell circuit; 5) biochemical factors; 6) hemostasis system; 7) AT; 8) LC characteristics; 9) LC cell dynamics; 10) surgery type: lobectomy/pneumonectomy; 11) anthropometric data. Optimal diagnosis and treatment strategies for LC are: 1) screening and early detection of LC; 2) availability of experienced thoracic surgeons because of complexity of radical procedures; 3) aggressive en block surgery and adequate lymph node dissection for completeness; 4) precise prediction; 5) adjuvant chemoimmunoradiotherapy for LCP with unfavorable prognosis.

Introduction
Many have been interested in Tom Selleck health. not only because of his enduring presence on screen but also because of the challenges. and lifestyle choices he has faced and made over the years. This article delves into the various aspects of Tom Selleck health. exploring his fitness regimen, diet, mental health. and the challenges he has encountered as he ages. We'll look at how he maintains his well-being. the health issues he has faced, and his approach to ageing .
Early Life and Career
Childhood and Athletic Beginnings
Tom Selleck was born on January 29, 1945, in Detroit, Michigan, and grew up in Sherman Oaks, California. From an early age, he was involved in sports, particularly basketball. which played a significant role in his physical development. His athletic pursuits continued into college. where he attended the University of Southern California (USC) on a basketball scholarship. This early involvement in sports laid a strong foundation for his physical health and disciplined lifestyle.
Transition to Acting
Selleck's transition from an athlete to an actor came with its physical demands. His first significant role in "Magnum P.I." required him to perform various stunts and maintain a fit appearance. This role, which he played from 1980 to 1988. necessitated a rigorous fitness routine to meet the show's demands. setting the stage for his long-term commitment to health and wellness.
Fitness Regimen
Workout Routine
Tom Selleck health and fitness regimen has evolved. adapting to his changing roles and age. During his "Magnum, P.I." days. Selleck's workouts were intense and focused on building and maintaining muscle mass. His routine included weightlifting, cardiovascular exercises. and specific training for the stunts he performed on the show.
Selleck adjusted his fitness routine as he aged to suit his body's needs. Today, his workouts focus on maintaining flexibility, strength, and cardiovascular health. He incorporates low-impact exercises such as swimming, walking, and light weightlifting. This balanced approach helps him stay fit without putting undue strain on his joints and muscles.

ABSTRACT
The longer duration of treatment is one of the major drawbacks in orthodontics causing most of the patients dropouts. The application of
orthodontic forces on the teeth induces inflammatory response in the periodontal tissues and pulp which brings about bone remodeling. However,
the rate of bone remodeling is low resulting into longer treatment duration. Micro-osteoperforation on the other hand is a minimally invasive
procedure which activates pro inflammatory mediators, thus stimulating the inflammatory response. This eventually increases the rate of alveolar

INTRODUCTION
The long duration of orthodontic treatment has several side effects
1
such as pain, discomfort, recession, root-resorption, caries etc. Hence
accelerationof toothmovementtoreduceorthodontictreatmenttimeis
veryessential.
Over time orthodontists have come up with various ways to aid the
same of which the surgical procedures especially corticotomy has
2
shown tobethemostclinicallyeffective.
Corticotomy being an invasive procedure requiring flap elevation,
suturing and its association with post surgical pain, swelling and
3
interdental bone loss , arises a need for minimally invasive treatment
options.
Micro-osteoperforations is one such procedure involving controlled

microtraumatotheboneinordertoacceleratetoothmovement.
DISCUSSION:
Biologyof tooth movement
Application of orthodontic forces to teeth results in compression and
tension of the periodontal ligament which causes deformation and
constriction of blood vessels resulting in cell damage in the periodontal
tissues. There is an acute inflammatory response which is
characterized by release of chemokines and cytokines. These
cytokines have shown to induce an influx of inflammatory cells and
5
osteoclast precursors. The inflammatory cells work to maintain high
cytokine and chemokine levels that are necessary to transform
osteoclast precursors to multi nucleated giant cells that are finally
6
responsiblefor boneresorption.
Accelerationoftooth movement
Acceleration of tooth movement can be brought about by 2 ways. First
being application of stimulants. In this method the stimulant activates
certain pathways that cause bone formation and resorption but it is not
like the natural process that occurs due to orthodontic forces. The
second method increases the intensity of the natural bone remodeling

pathwaysthatusuallyoccursby meansoforthodonticforces.
Historyand Background ofMicro-osteoperforation
The concept of Micro-osteoperforation was developed by the
Consortium for Translational Orthodontic Research (CTOR). Several
animal and human clinical trials were performed to determine the
effectiveness of Micro-osteoperforation in accelerating orthodontic
tooth movement. After a number of successful clinical studies CTOR
patented the technique, later Propel Orthodontics (Ossining, NY,
USA) gained the license to commercialize the device in 2010. Since
then the device has gained popularity and is being marketed across the
7
globe.
Micro osteoperforation
Micro osteoperforation is a safe, minimally invasive procedure that
utilizes the second method of acceleration of tooth movement i.e. it
increases the intensity of natural inflammatory response of the body by
means of physical trauma. It involves controlled micro trauma to the
4
bonebymeansofmicroosteoperforations.
MechanismofAction:
Micro osteoperforation is based on the premise that micro trauma to
the bone increases the expression of cytokines and chemokines that are
usually released due to orthodontic forces. This results in increased
number of osteoclasts being recruited to the area. As a result there is
decrease in the bone density and increase in bone resorption resulting
in easier and faster tooth movement. Also this process of faster bone
remodeling is not just around the affected area but is also extended to
the surrounding tissues. Therefore the micro osteoperforation may not
8
necessarily be placed very close to the tooth to be moved. (Figure.1.

1- Excellerator: it comprise of single use tip and a fine grip handle as
a single unit. It has an adjustable depth dial with the markings of
0mm, 3mm, 5mm and 7mm which can be fixed at a desired depth
by rotating in clockwise direction. The LED light depth indicator
adds to its user friendly design. However the device is meant for
single use and cannot be sterilized which adds on to the cost of the
treatment.
2- Excellerator RT kit: It comprises of one large handle, 2 closed tips
and one open tip.The handle comes with a textured grip and can be
sterilized. The 2 disposable closed tips have depth graduations at
3mm, 5mm and 7mm; while the open tip do not show depth
graduations.
3- Excellerator PT kit: it comprises of a powered handpiece,
charging unit, a contra-angled head attachment and disposable
tips. The handpiece has a digital display which shows the battery
level, speed in rpm, torque and the forward or reverse mode. The
accessibility in entire mouth is made easy with the help of contra-
angled head attachment. Greater rotational speed drives the tips
easily through the cortical bone without the need of pressure
application.
MethodofUse:
The patient is advised to use Chlorhexidine mouth wash twice daily,
one day prior to the procedure. Immediately before the procedure the
patient is asked to rinse for 1 minute using 0.12 % Chlorhexidine
digluconate. The placement and depth of micro-osteoperforations
should be determined. Local anesthesia should be achieved using local
infiltration. The depth of 3mm, 5mm or 7 mm should be set on the
device by rotating the depth dial in clockwise direction for anterior,
premolar and molar region respectively.The tissues are held taught and
the device is positioned such that the tip is perpendicular at the point of
contact, gentle pressure is applied. The LED indicator turns red once
the desired depth is obtained, rotating counterclockwise the device
should be removed. One to three micro-osteoperforations should be
done either on the buccal or the lingual aspect of the interdental bone to
obtainoptimalresults.
Indications:
Micro osteoperforations can be successfully used to increase the rate of
tooth movement around teeth that require to be moved along long
distances such as ectopic canines, forced eruption, edentulous space
closingetc.
Contraindications:
Micro osteoperforation should not be used nearby anchorage devices
such as temporary anchorage devices in form of implants and anchor
teeth since it causes reduction in bone density in the involved area and
hence can cause loss of stability of the device and loss of anchorage.
Also it should not be used in patients not having a healthy periodontal
status or medical conditions such as seizures, hematological disorders,
diabetesetc.
Advantages:
It increases the rate of bone remodeling, thus reduces the orthodontic
treatment time. The procedure of micro osteoperforation is performed
under infiltration local anesthesia hence there is no pain during the
procedure. Also it is shown that there is no additional pain or
discomfort experienced by patients undergoing micro
osteoperforation compared with usual orthodontic patients. Although
this procedure causes a reduction in bone density but it does not cause
external apical root resorption. The procedure is easy, efficient and
safe.
Disadvantages:
The increase in cytokine activity due to micro osteoperforation
decreases after a period of two months. Therefore the procedure has to
be repeated in every one or two months. The micro osteoperforation
deviceisexpensivewhichincreasesthecostof thetreatment.
ClinicalStudies:
1- Astudy conducted by Zamora EY et al. on 10 patients undergoing
canine distalization following extraction of first premolars; mini-
implants were placed to provide anchorage. Micro-
osteoperforation was performed on one side of the arch while the
other side receiving conventional retraction served as control. The
results showed 41% faster space closure on the side where micro-
osteoperforationwas performed.9
2- Study was performed by Alikhani M et al. on 20 patients with
Angles Class 2 Division 1 malocclusion undergoing canine
retraction. Micro-osteoperforation was performed on either right
or left side of maxilla in the experimental group. The canine
retraction and the activity of inflammatory markers in the GCF
were measured after 28 days. The results showed increased rate of
tooth movement and higher levels of inflammatory markers in the
experimentalgroup.10
3- A study was conducted on 15 patients undergoing canine
retraction following first premolar extractions. The study group
received one to four Micro osteoperforations between along the
retraction site on one side of maxilla. The level of IL 1 alpha in
GCF was measured using ELISA test one day prior to force
application then measured one week and one month after
application of force respectively. The study group showed higher
levels of IL1alpha and greater tooth movement as compared to the
controlgroup.4
FutureScope:
With long treatment time in orthodontics predisposing patients to a
variety of other dental problems and increasing number of adult
patients opting for orthodontic treatment, need for reducing the
treatment time becomes utmost important. Micro osteoperforation has
proved to be effective in accelerating the tooth movement and thus
reducing the treatment time for orthodontics. It can be used in routine
orthodontics at different stages of treatment. However further studies,
researchandclinicaltrialsarerequiredtodemonstrateitsefficacy.
